Honda Australia 2006 Sale Figures
January 5, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
VFACTS figures released yesterday show Honda sold 54,202 units in 2006, surpassing last year’s record by 7,201 units with growth of 15.3%. Honda finished the year with a passenger vehicle market share of 7.3%, (up from 6.1%), an SUV share of 6.2%, (up from 5.4%) and overall share of 5.6%, almost a full one percent increase over 2005.
As usual the Honda Civic was Honda’s leading car with 13,536 sales, of which 815 were Hybrids. The Honda CR-V also enjoyed one of its most successful years with 10,069 sales, closely followed by the Accord Euro 10,013.
“In January last year we set ourselves a challenge; to continue our run of record sales. And thanks to the sustained commitment by Honda Australia staff and our dealers we have achieved an outstanding result. But it’s our customers I most want to thank, in helping us achieve this magnificent result”. Honda Australia General Manager – Sales, Nigel Brownscombe said,
I would be keen to see if Honda starts introducing some more sport cars to its range, such as the Type R Civic. Either way 2007 will undoubtedly be another good year for Honda. The breakup of Honda Car Sales for 2006 are below:
- Jazz 9,441
- Civic 13,536
- Accord Euro 10,013
- Accord 6,702
- Odyssey 3,002
- Integra 610
- S2000 30
- CR-V 10,069
- MDX 558
- Legend 241
- Honda 2006 Total : 54,202
Its actually interesting to note that 30 Honda S2000s were sold. For a car that hasn’t really changed all that much in the last 7 years, its a great achievement!
